An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists within the handling of challenge packets in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted challenge packet can cause the program termination leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker can compromise the server or use man in the middle to trigger this vulnerability.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - freerdp: Out-of-bounds write in nsc_rle_decode() function (CVE-2018-8788)

  - FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and application crash) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2013-4118)

  - FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta+2013071101 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and application crash) by disconnecting before authentication has finished. (CVE-2013-4119)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - freerdp: Out-of-bounds write in rdp_recv_tpkt_pdu (CVE-2017-2835)

  - FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference     and application crash) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2013-4118)

  - FreeRDP before 1.1.0-beta+2013071101 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and application crash) by disconnecting before authentication has finished. (CVE-2013-4119)

According to the versions of the freerdp packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In FreeRDP after 1.0 and before 2.0.0, there is an     out-of-bound read in in update_read_bitmap_data that     allows client memory to be read to an image buffer. The     result displayed on screen as colour.(CVE-2020-11045)

  - libfreerdp/gdi/region.c in FreeRDP versions > 1.0     through 2.0.0-rc4 has an Integer     Overflow.(CVE-2020-11523)

  - In FreeRDP before version 2.1.2, there is a global OOB     read in update_read_cache_bitmap_v3_order. As a     workaround, one can disable bitmap cache with
    -bitmap-cache (default). This is fixed in version     2.1.2.(CVE-2020-11096)

  - An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in     the authentication functionality of FreeRDP     2.0.0-beta1+android11.

An attacker can compromise     the server or use a man in the middle to trigger this     vulnerability.(CVE-2017-2835)

  - An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists     within the reading of proprietary server certificates     in FreeRDP 2.0.0-beta1+android11. A specially crafted     challenge packet can cause the program termination     leading to a denial of service condition. An attacker     can compromise the server or use man in the middle to     trigger this vulnerability.(CVE-2017-2836)

  - An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists     within the handling of security data in FreeRDP     2.0.0-beta1+android11.
